Cheer Team: Summer Program
Grades 6-11
Instructor: DC Cheer Coaches, Stephine Paech & Lexi Wuetrich
The D-C Cheer Team is a sideline and competitive cheerleading program that runs from June through early February. During the fall season, cheerleaders energize the crowd on the sidelines at football games, while in the winter, they compete against other teams across the state.
This summer program is a vital part of the full cheer season, focusing on learning cheers, dances, and team-building while improving skills and conditioning for the months ahead. Summer participation is highly encouraged, but separate registration for the fall and winter seasons (September-February) takes place in late-July and October through the Activities Department.
In addition to regular summer practices at Dassel-Cokato, cheerleaders are required to attend a home Choreography Camp in August prior to the start of the fall season.
If you missed team placement practices in February but are still interested in joining, please email Coach Stephine (stephine.paech@dc.k12.mn.us) or Coach Lexi (lexi.hanson@dc.k12.mn.us) before registering.
Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to train, perform, and be part of the D-C Cheer Team!
